Germany has historically been very pro-Russia. Both as a form of peace work and because of scepticism towards the US. It has also been very pacifist, refusing to supply (also indirectly) any country involved in a war with arms - even Ukraine until Saturday. This war has changed everything about German foreign politics. Germany is now supplying an active war participant with weapons. It is increasing its military budget and buying drones. Energy security, including nuclear(!), is back on the agenda. In short, Russia's invasion has (temporarily?) ended pacifist rhetoric and policy in Germany.
